Ridgeline Outfitters - Testimonials

What an awesome hunt and a wonderful experience! Killed the biggest elk of my career. I’ve hunted all over the country and have hunted elk in NM for 30 years. Without a doubt, Ridgeline is the way to go. Great equipment, nice accommodations, great food and most of all; really friendly folks all focused on getting you the best hunt possible. It’s the people that make the difference! I’ve already booked next year and have told all my friends about Dan and Ridgeline Outfitters. Book a hunt now! You’ll be glad you did!

Dan,

Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you again for the great hunt this past December in New Mexico. It's always great to be waiting for a nice rack to come back from the taxidermist, but the week itself was a great experience for me (with the nice bull taken making it even better). Everything was handled in a professional manner, with lodging, food, and details taken care of as I expected . I have to mention the great job done by my guide, Iseah, who was excellent. He had obviously scouted prior to my arrival and worked hard all day, every day, to find a mature bull - which we saw several during my hunt. And we just simply had a fun time together hunting elk

I hope I can have the opportunity to hunt with you and your guides again in the coming years, as I would certainly come back and recommend your hunt to anyone. Doesn't get much better than to enjoy a great week and take a bull that was a lifetime dream for this country boy from Virginia!

My hunting experience with Dan Reyes of Ridgeline Outfitters has been outstanding! My first experience with Dan was hunting Barbary Sheep. It was a tough hunt but Dan had done his homework and in the end I took a respectable ram.

The following year I booked a late season Bull Elk hunt for not only myself, but an EOL customer as well. After spending the time with Dan on the sheep hunt, I was confident that he would provide us with another successful hunting venture. My customer and I were very pleased with the amount of animals that were seen on the hunt as well as the amount of respectable bulls that we were able to look over before harvesting two nice 6 points.

Our experience with Ridgeline Outfitters has been nothing but excellent. As I write this testimonial, I am in the process of booking my next Bull Elk hunt with Dan. I will be accompanied this year by two EOL customers. We look forward to yet another epic hunt!

This was my 2nd year hunting with Dan Reyes of Ridgeline Outfitters. Though i was unsuccessful last year with the extreme drought conditions in New Mexico, I rebooked again for this year. I knew Dan and his guides would be prepared and I was not let down. Dan and his guides had scouted bulls for the 3 hunters in camp did a great job matching hunter’s abilities and expectations to each guide. Equally impressive was not only did they do their homework finding quality bulls for us to hunt, but they found these bulls away from other hunters in this public land unit. I have the advantage of hunting with Dan in both successful and unsuccessful years and know how motivated and sincere Dan and his guides are in putting you on nice bulls. I have recommended Ridgeline Outfitter to my friends and plan to return myself.

I love to hunt and have been doing it my entire life. Coast to coast and around the world I have seen some of the most incredible animals and have hunted with the most talented guides the industry has to offer. I recently spent a week in New Mexico with Dan Reyes, owner of Ridgeline Outfitters and he is now in my book of elite guides. A late season elk hunt proved to be one of the most challenging hunts I’ve ever attempted and Dan made the experience more enjoyable than I could have imagined. He knows what he’s doing, how to treat his clients and how to put you in front of big bulls. I’ll be back to hunt with Ridgeline Outfitters, GUARANTEED.

This year I booked a hunt in New Mexico with Dan Reyes and Ridgeline Outfitters. Probably one of the best decisions I made all year! After several years of disappointing hunts with other outfitters, I found one I’m going back to next year! And hopefully years to come! I got to camp the day prior and found Dan and his guides not only already there, but also having done their homework prior to the season opening. Each guide had done some scouting and had several options ready for when they met their respective hunters. The result, every hunter had a shooting opportunity on the first day! We all know that there are no guarantees with hunting and every year presents new and different conditions. But I believe that preparedness will always improve your odds of closing the deal. Dan and his guides were prepared, ready and willing to customize their hunting tactics to their hunter’s abilities, and stayed highly motivated from the first day to the last! Best thing I can possibly say about Ridgeline Outfitters is; “I’m going back”!

Dan worked extremely hard to help me get my first trophy Elk during the early bow season. It was an experience of a lifetime! We chased a 350+ Elk on the 4th morning but couldn’t get quite close enough for a shot, then I got a 330 inch Elk that afternoon. Dan worked us into close position throughout the week to a 100+ head Elk herd. I learned a great deal about hunting elk from Dan, specifically that getting the wind right is everything. I am an experienced southeastern bow hunter, but had never hunted Elk in my life, with Dan’s guidance I was able to get my first Elk and it was a 330 inch 6 x 6 Bull!

Get ready to hike and work hard for your Elk with Dan. The air is thinner in NM and AZ than here in the Southeast, due to the lack of humidity, it took me one day just to acclimatize to the altitude and dryer air. I ran 3 miles 3 times a week to get ready for the trip and that advanced training helped me keep up with Dan in the field. He will consistently outwork you for your own Elk, you can’t ask for anything more from your guide.

Thank you again Dan for the hunting experience of a lifetime!

I hunted with Dan for the last 2 years and had a great experience both times. He does his homework and put me on great animals both times. You can’t ask more from an outfitter. I’ve hunted for many years on guided hunts in Alaska, Canada and the western United States and highly recommend Dan as a guide.

I have archery elk hunted 5 times with Ridgeline and plan on booking again. We always seen plenty of good bulls and a few great ones. They work hard for you and don’t pressure you. Dan always worked with me to put together the hunt that fit my schedule and budget. Can’t wait to get back, Dan put me in position to kill some great bulls but I need to learn to control my buck fever. I highly recommend hunting with Ridgeline Outfitters.
